Role As Trailblazers

Revealing his high expectations and hopes for the student division members, Shin’ichi had written: "The direction for all young people in the Soka Gakkai is clearly expressed in Josei Toda’s ‘Precepts for Youth’ and ‘Youth, Be Patriotic.’ But among all our young people, it is the student division members in particular who must possess a sense of responsibility and awareness of their role as trailblazers.” Right at the outset, Shin’ichi declared that it was their mission to lead the way in the kosen-rufu movement. From that time on, trailblazing became a byword and a proud tradition of the student division.
